Changelog

New updates and improvements to Vidzflow.

12 Jan
  • Thumbnail previews: You can now generate timeline previews which will appear when hovering the progress bar, by going to the "Timeline" tab and clicking "Generate timeline previews" button. After a few mins (depending on the video length) these sprites will be automatically enabled.
  • Intro / Outro video: You can now upload custom intro and outro videos (head over to the Intro / Outro tab on the Video page) that will be played before the actual video. You can also configure them as skippable, and configure visual settings for the skip button. We recommend using same dimensions as with the main video to avoid the shift when the player switches over the videos.
  • Permission changes: We have tweaked some of the permissions requirements for certain operations in the workspace settings to make them better suited to the new design.
  • Minor bugs and fixes.

24 Nov
  • Two-Factor Authentication: Enhance your account security with optional two-factor authentication. You can enable and configure this feature in your profile settings
  • Custom Background Audio: Upload your own audio files to replace the original video sound. Perfect for adding music, narration, or any custom audio to your videos.
  • Timeline Trimming & Clip Creation: Trim your videos to the perfect length and extract specific segments as standalone clips. Easily create and save multiple clips from a single video.
10 Nov
  • Configurable compression level
    • You can now configure the level of compression for newly uploaded videos, helping you optimize the video quality even further for you specific use case:
      • High compression produces smallest file and improves loading time, can produce some minor artifacts in some cases.
      • Medium compression, current default, optimised all-round quality for majority of the cases.
      • Small compression, sometimes you need the most detail, regardless of the size.
